“Because I was born in the South, I’m a Southerner. If I had been born in the North, the West or the Central Plains, I would be just a human being.”

    Humorous but questionable. I was born in east-central Alabama. I now live in Arizona, with extended stays in Atlanta, Tampa, and Boston. My life’s journey leads me to conclude that while I’m from the South, a reality that I wholeheartedly embrace, I am not arrogantly of the South. I’ve been fortunate to experience a much wider more inclusive world. I’ve come to have deep respect for ‘them thar yankees and others not like me’.
